I'll flesh this out further when I get answers to some of my history questions, but a few brief notes:
- Syrelwynn is the capital. It's on a small hill near a river about twenty or thirty kilometers from the sea. Syrelwynn is its name in common Shireroth language, but it has an older name in its own tongue. Maybe Wintersong Keep - I need to write more history.
-Sirwynn is a trading port on the river. It's pretty close to Shirekeep and across a mountain range from the rest of the county. It used to be the capital, and it used to be called Syrelwynn, but there was some kind of shift. Again, more history.
- Synthera and Imphare are the two seaports.
- None of the towns are very big. Syrelwynn is the biggest and probably has about 35,000 people in it. Some of the very small ones like Airle and Daneannis probably only have a few hundred.
- There's some shipbuilding in Synthera, and some gold mines in the mountains, but otherwise no heavy industry to speak of. There's a lot of farming and traditional crafts.
- The small tributary of the big river to the south is called the Syrelwynn, and the bigger river to the north is called the Quinewynn. Most of the towns and farms are concentrated along the Quinewynn.
- Most of the county other than the Quinewynn plain is mountains. There are a few roads across them, but they would probably need a 4x4, and you wouldn't want to use them in winter.
- In the hills north of the city of Syrelwynn there are lots of standing stones. Some people say there were placed there to ward off demons. They seem to be doing a pretty good job.
